Four U.S. soldiers die during training in Lithuania

Investing.com -- NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed on Wednesday that four U.S. soldiers, reported missing during a training exercise in Lithuania, have died. The specifics surrounding the incident are yet to be disclosed.

An anonymous U.S. official confirmed to the Associated Press that the soldiers were part of a training accident, but declined to provide further details regarding their status.

Rutte, while on a visit to Warsaw, expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased soldiers and to the United States. He told reporters in Warsaw, "This is still early news so we do not know the details. This is really terrible news and our thoughts are with the families and loved ones."

The U.S. Army Europe and Africa public affairs division, based in Wiesbaden, Germany, stated that the soldiers were engaged in a scheduled tactical training at the time of the incident.
